Armstrong World Industries will be raising the prices on select solid and engineered hardwood products by 6 to 12 percent in the U.S. and Canada. The price change will take effect on February 3, 2014.
“We are taking this action after serious consideration of the alternatives and options but this increase is the minimum necessary to secure the raw materials required to service our valued customers as we move into 2014,” Kevin Biedermann, senior vice president of Armstrong Residential Floor Products, said in a statement.
The cost of the raw materials for veneer and lumber continue to increase, which leaves the only option for companies to increase product prices as well. Armstrong World Industries understands the difficulties that arise when prices increase, but they will still strive to deliver quality, innovation, and service that create growth for their customers.
The last price increase occurred on September 13, 2013.
